Cinchoo – ChoObject.ToString(), Part 1

Cinchoo framework provides one of the very useful method to automatic generation of string represent of an object in very well formatted way.

1. Add reference to Cinchoo.Core.dll assembly

2. Namespace Cinchoo.Core

There are two ways, you can declare the type

Method 1:

Declare a type with public members, use ChoObject.ToString() method to get the string represents as below

public class Security
{
    public string Symbol;
    public string CompanyName;
    public double Price;

    public Security(string symbol, string companyName, double price)
    {
        Symbol = symbol;
        CompanyName = companyName;
        Price = price;
    }
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    try
    {
        Security security = new Security("AAPL", "Apple Inc", 457.25);
        Console.WriteLine(ChoObject.ToString(security));
    }
    finally
    {
        ChoAppDomain.Exit();
    }
}

The output is

-- Cinchoo.Core.Test.Security Dump --
        Symbol: AAPL
        CompanyName: Apple Inc
        Price: 457.25

Method 2:

Declare a type derived from ChoObject with public members, use ToString() instance method directly to get the string represents as below

public class Security : ChoObject
{
    public string Symbol;
    public string CompanyName;
    public double Price;

    public Security(string symbol, string companyName, double price)
    {
        Symbol = symbol;
        CompanyName = companyName;
        Price = price;
    }
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    try
    {
        Security security = new Security("AAPL", "Apple Inc", 457.25);
        Console.WriteLine(security.ToString());
    }
    finally
    {
        ChoAppDomain.Exit();
    }
}

The output is

-- Cinchoo.Core.Test.Security Dump --
        Symbol: AAPL
        CompanyName: Apple Inc
        Price: 457.25
